Rydel is one and a half months pregnant. In all honesty though I just wish Ryland were here to celebrate with us because I haven't seen him since before I left with mom to buy the rings for Rydel and Riker. I was told by Riker and Rydel When mom and I got back that While we were gone, Ryland stormed into the house, packed his things and then left without saying a word to anyone, although about a week or so later he finally called the house, said he was okay and that he would call, two to three times a week to update us on how he is doing. Although he specifically asked not to let Ellington contact him unless he asks to speak to him. At first it took me a while to figure out why but then I remembered that one conversation I had with Ellington after a long period of not having seen him. He told me that he was gay and in love with Ryland. Ellington Had told Ryland how he felt about him and then Ryland of course decided to deal with it the way he deals with anything involving feelings. he runs away." It was at that moment that I realized that it was Ellington's fault that my little brother ran away to live in New York city. Although I of course am not mad at Ellington for this because how was he supposed to know that Ryland was going to run away like that when he had confessed his love for him./p

I mean the first two months were a bit rough considering I was living off of what I made from being a waiter at planet hollywood in Times Square, but I now have a steady job of being the Dj for a club near my apartment that I am currently renting. Part of me wants to go back to L.A to visit my family for a bit but I don't know if I can face Ellington just yet. I mean I know it may have seemed a bit irrational to just run away to New York like that but if i'm being honest, it's more than just the fact that Ellington had, and maybe even still has feelings for me. It's the fact that not only am i confused about my feelings for him but I am also quite confused about a bunch of other things, such as, who I really am, and what I really want to do with the rest of my life. I just want to figure out what I want in life before I see Ellington again because I don't want him to influence my decision too highly./p

In Fact, the last time I had a decent sleep was when he was still here. I don't even care at this point whether he wants to be with me or not, I just want him to be here, where I know for a fact that he is safe.

He just mopes around, all depressed and sometimes I hear him cry in pain at night. in fact everyone hears it but only Rocky and I know what is really happening. Rocky and I have tried to convince him to stop cutting but nothing has worked. We even tried calling Ryland, asking him to come back but he would just say he isn't ready to come back yet.

I'm actually going to go home to face my family again for the first time in about 10 months. The greatest but most nerve wracking part about that though is that I get to see everyone again! I get to see Ellington again. I haven't been able to stop thinking about him since I left L.A almost 10 months ago. I know it was kind of stupid to wait this long to go back if I basically knew that I loved him all this time. I understand that now and part of me regrets leaving but I am also somewhat glad that I left because had I stayed I probably wouldn't know that I am in love with him because I wouldn't of had to go through the heartache that I did in order to realize my feelings. Before I got on the plane I told Rocky to come pick me up from the airport because I was finally going to come home and I told him my plan. I would wait with Rocky in the back yard by the pool and then Rocky would text Riker to bring Ellington outside to the back yard and then I would take it from there. I was then pulled from my thoughts by the intercom. we were just told that we would be landing in L.A now./p

"Are you sure you're ready to see Ellington and tell him how you feel?" concern filling his voice. "why? does he not have feelings for me anymore?" i asked scared to actually know the answer to that question. "no no, it's not that at all!" he reassured me. "okay, then what is it?" i asked "I don't know. I just wanted to make sure you still felt that way about him, that's all." he responded. "yes! are you crazy! he is all that I could think about while I was gone these past nine months! I tried so hard in the beginning to convince myself that everything would be okay if I came back ,but part of me knew it would be best to wait it out." i said "it's funny that you say that..." Rocky replied. "what!?" I said with my voice now full of panic "oh nothing..." Rocky said avoiding the topic of conversation. "Rocky!" i said in a warning tone. "Ryland!" he said mocking me. "No Rocky! I'm serious! What aren't you telling me?" i practically yelled as my throat began to swell and the tears began to build up in my eyes at the thought that it has something to do with Ellington. This fight then continued until we drove into the laneway. Then finally Rocky gave in. "you know what, fine! Just please don't hate Ellington for this, he's been through a lot." Rocky said barely above a whisper. "why? is he okay" i asked, nearly dying inside. "When you left for New York nine months ago... Ellington started harming himself. It wasn't long after that Riker and I found out about it and we have tried to find a way to convince him to stop. Believe me, but what he told me really hurt. He said that the pain he felt from you leaving made the pain from the knife feel like a sense of relief" he said and at that point we were both on the verge of tears. Rocky then texted Riker to Bring Ellington to the Back yard. we waited a couple minutes until Rocky got a text from Riker apparently still asking why this was happening and we took that as a signal that they were Ready. Rocky and I then came to the gate into the backyard and thats when I saw Ellington. His back facing to me as he talked to Riker. "Ellington... I saod breathlessly. with That he turned around and before he even got the chance to speak I dropped my bags, ran into his arms and I kissed him with so much passion that we felt like the only two people in the world. /p

I mean after all we went through starting nearly three years ago before we ended up together how could we be able to keep our hands off of each other. On the bright side, at least now we don't have to. As we made our way into the little cottage that we would be staying in on a private beach in grand turk, we could barely keep our hands to ourselves as we made it through the door. Ryland trailed little kisses all up my neck until he reached just under my earlobe. Then he whispered something I have been dying to hear all night. "I want to make love to you" this sending chills down my spine and I could also feel myself getting hard. As if he knew right then, he reached his arm around me from behind and ran his hand down my abs underneath my shirt painfully slow and lightly traced my V line. this causing my breath to hitch. He slowly brought his hand closer to my hard on slowly reaching his hand into my pants, and as he grasped it my breath hitched again. "Ryland... I need you" I whispered. without any further delay, we stripped ourselves and Ryland grabbed a condom putting it on himself. He then lined himself up with my entrance and without any warning he slammed into me. the funny thing is thought that I've heard that it usually hurts, the first time but all I felt was pleasure. Also if you are wondering, I am in fact a virgin... well I was until now... as he was thrusting into me he grabbed my throbbing cock and began pumping in time with his thrusts and after that it wasn't long until we collapsed and fell asleep in each others arms. "I love you Ellington" he said to me. "i love you too Ryland" I replied and in a matter of seconds we fell asleep in each others arms./p
